Characterization of diamond films by Raman spectroscopy
Diane S. Knight,William B. White +1 more
TL;DR: The Raman spectrum of hexagonal diamond (lonsdaleite) is distinct from that of the cubic diamond and allows it to be recognized as discussed by the authors, and the Raman line width varies with mode of preparation of the diamond and has been related to degree of structural order.
